Brief Summary

Triple-negative breast cancer constitutes 15-20% of cases of breast cancer and is defined by the absence of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and overexpression or gene amplification of HER2. Although the addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors could improve the outcome of patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC), chemotherapy has been the standard of care for systemic treatment for patients with mTNBC. Prognoses remain poor, with reported median overall survival estimates of approximately 18 months or less with available treatments. A meta-analysis of seven clinical trials showed that the median objective response rate (ORR) of second or later line of chemotherapy in mTNBC was only 11%. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumor model, which preserves the histologic and genetic characteristics of patients' tumors, has shown its predictive value of clinical outcomes and are used for preclinical drug evaluation, biomarker identification, biological studies, and personalized medicine strategies. However, long time period and low success rate has limited its application in clinical practice. Mini patient derived xenograft (miniPDX) offers an effective alternative as it only takes about 7 days for drug sensitivity test and could thus provide guidance for prompt personalized treatment for each patient. Thus, the investigators conduct this single-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical study to investigate the efficacy of guided treatment based on Mini-PDX in patients with metastatic refractory triple negative breast cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Objective response rate

    To compare the Objective Response Rate (ORR) of patients who recieve persionalized treatment based on mini-PDX model with ORR of patients who receive Treatment of Physician's Choice (TPC). ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with a confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) according to RECIST 1.1. ORR will be calculated based on the Investigator assessment of response. CR = Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm; PR = At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.

    Through study completion, an expected average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Overall Survival

    Through study completion, an expected average of 1 year

  • Progression-Free Survival

    Through study completion, an expected average of 1 year

  • Adverse events

    Through study completion, an expected average of 1 year

Study Arms (2)

Personalized treatment guided by Mini-PDX

EXPERIMENTAL

The tumor tissue is used for drug sensitivity test by Mini-PDX, and acquiring the genetic information by RNA-sequence. Patients with mTNBC will receive personalized treatment guided by the experimental results of mini-PDX and RNA sequencing.

Drug: Personalized treatment guided by mini-PDX and RNA sequencing

Treatment of Physician's Choice (TPC)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

TPC will be administered per standard of care. Patients randomized to TPC will receive chemotherapy, including but not limited to the following agents: nab-paclitaxel, eribulin, vinorelbine, gemcitabine, capecitabine.

Drug: Nab paclitaxelDrug: EribulinDrug: VinorelbineDrug: GemcitabineDrug: Capecitabine
